It was busy in the Chat Room
with the regulars, returning long time listeners, plus new ones. It’s really
like having a visit with your friends every week. How nice is that??!! You should
really try it out for yourself; I know you’ll find it takes listening to the
show to a new level. Simply Click Chat

Follow the easy instructions and voila! You’ll be in the Chat Room and one of

It was also good to hear from several listeners with their requests,
both by email as well as by calling the Listener

you.

Next

Day The Music Died. Be sure to listen during the 4th hour for
news clips and interviews plus the great music of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper. And the
following week, Sunday, February 8th,
it’s the Annual Valentine’s Day Special.
Don’t forget to buy (or make) a Valentine’s card for your special someone and
also email you request or call the Listener Line to record your request

Happy

I played Simon and Garfunkel’s
At The Zoo on the show and decided to play them again at the Treasure Island Oldies Blog. It’s a
great clip from their Concert In Central
Park from 1981. You can almost hear a pin drop as they perform The Sound Of Silence. It’s our Song of the Week. Enjoy!

About Me

I love good music - period, but I have a passion for the music of
the '50, '60s and '70s. I started Treasure Island Oldies for two
reasons: I had to get back on the air; I missed radio so much. I also
got tired of hearing "good times and 'eight' oldies", and knew with all
my previous radio programming experience, I could offer a weekly oldies
show that would feature familiar songs but also a lot of "instant
memories", songs you have not heard since they were first played on the
radio for a short time, then disappeared, seemingly forever. I knew
having someone hear a song they have not heard for literally 30 or 40
years, would touch a nerve. Perhaps the memory of a special occasion,
or maybe just another day, that particular song really caught their ear
back then. And every time I play one of those what I call Lost
Treasures, I get immediate individual feedback from the chat room,
email and my blogs. So I play a lot of music heard hardly anywhere
else. Join me live Sundays 6 to 10 p.m. Pacific, and also, the weekly
show archives at www.TreasureIslandOldies.com Let the memories flow!
